“…It sounds that there is need for women to feel confident and courageous to compete for higher level positions as men. It has been earlier highlighted that even in light of heightened international awareness of gender issues, it is a disturbing reality that no country has managed to eliminate the gender gap in workplaces (Mwaniki, & Guantai, 2018) and gender disadvantages are stronger at the top of hierarchy than at lower levels (Cotter et al, 2001).…”

“…It has been revealed that even in light of heightened international awareness of gender issues, it is a disturbing reality that no country has managed to eliminate the gender gap in workplaces and gender disadvantages are stronger at the top of hierarchy than at lower levels (Mwaniki & Guantai, 2018).

A Rwandan saying literally articulates that the optimal development of a woman is vital to the development of the family. However, in Rwanda, women remain disadvantaged in terms of participation in top job hierarchies. This study explored upward mobility among educated women in the Public Sector in Rwanda. The study established that women’s lack confidence to compete for higher-level positions is the main cause of gender discrepancies in top-level positions (89.7%). Women rush to get married instead of going for higher Degrees (Master’s and PhD) (79.4%) and fewer women complete Bachelor’s Degree while the higher Degree is the screening device to access top-level positions (81%). The Main implications of this gender disparity are unequal distribution of income (95.6%) and low salary for women (75%). It was concluded that gender disparity in qualifications in top-level positions in Rwanda’s Public Sector deserves serious consideration to be alleviated.
